About this sermon

Can you remember what it was like in your life just after the Lord saved you? Can you remember the new awareness concerning lost people? Can you remember the new concern for their souls? Can you remember the kind of burden that moved you to put forth an effort to share the gospel with those people in your life that you knew were lost? Evangelism is one of the immediate concerns of the evangelized. With new life comes a new love. That new love is a love for God, which fuels a desire to tell others about Him. And that new love is a new love for men, which fuels a desire to tell those men about God, and about His Son, your Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. We are taught by God’s grace to care about the spiritual condition of other people. We are taught by God’s grace to care about the everlasting destiny of other people. When that goes away we are no longer spiritually healthy. That’s true on an individual level and that is true in the life of a church. Evangelism reflects the love of the Father for sinners (John 3:16). Evangelism reflects the love of God’s Son for sinners.
